OK: Did not know where else to ask. My husband and the local auto gurus all say one thing. My niece has been staying with us for awhile (long story, won't bore you).
We ended up getting her a '97 Civic (well, she paid for about 80 percent of it). It had no front license plate. Oregon requires one.
I bought new plates for her (license, registration, title, new plates = $191.00 ). Oh well, I'll cut back on the Christmas and New Years Champagne.

How do I install the front license plate bracket on my new 2008 CRV LX 4WD? It wasn't installed at the dealership - Answered by a verified Mechanic for Honda.
The question is, there is NO WAY to attach the front license plate. The Honda has two holes (sort of reinforced special circles molded into the bumper, but if you stick anything through those molded circles, all you find is styrofoam. Nothing to 'attach to.' The local yokels (hubby included) -- all just say use sheet metal screws that will 'grab' onto the reinforced circles. I went to the 'local Honda dealer,' who is some 60 miles away on Friday and they said there is supposed to be brackets behind the bumper plastic that 6x16 screws go into to.but there are not. So, any thoughts. Will the sheet metals screws do the job?
I don't want her to get one of our infamous $287.00 citations for no front license plate!! Road & engine vibration would turn unsecured sheet metal screws into miniature buzz saws in the naked plastic and they'd lose their grip within a few thousand miles, so some sort of metal nutplate is necessary. Ask an autoshop if they've got a Riv-nut setter that can set Riv-nuts about that size into the holes.
Shouldn't cost more than $100 to get done. Otherwise you'd have to take the bumper off to put the original nutplate back and that'd cost more. That's what I'd do, but Honda gurus may have better ideas. I'd try to remove the front bumper cover and see if a behind-the-plastic piece just slipped out of place. (I'm almost positive a google search will turn up video on doing this.) If there is no behind-the-plastic piece back there, that might mean the bumper cover, etc, was removed for repair of accident damages, hopefully a minor fender bender.

Are there any other evidence or subtle indications/suggestions of an earlier accident? I'm hoping not. As to just mounting the license plate directly or a license plate carrier to the plastic bumper cover, nice thick shafted pan head or oval headed self-tapping stainless steel sheet metal screws should do just fine -- #8 or #10 should do. Drill holes just smaller than the shaft of the screw ~1/2 inch above or below the existing holes. Tighten the screws only with a good ol' hand screw driver to prevent stripping out the new threads in the plastic. I'll bet they'll do satisfactory service for a very, very long time.
Total cost could run as high as $3 as you'll probably have to by a package of six screws at Home Despot, etc. To answer a couple of the questions.I hope. I can get my hand behind the 'bumper.' But, behind the plastic and behind the styrofoam is a different thing.
To get behind the plastic bumper, I would have to 'hollow out,' a giant hole in the styrofoam. The styrofoam is behind the 'plastic.' It is about four inches thick. I did not try to see what is behind it.
